Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond President Thomas Barkin will speak on “The Mysterious U.S. Economy” at 8:00 AM ET before the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce. His remarks may offer insights into the Fed’s view on inflation, growth, and monetary policy amid recent economic uncertainty.
The speech precedes the 9:00 AM ET release of the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home Price Index, which tracks monthly changes in U.S. housing prices. The index is closely watched as a gauge of economic health and consumer spending trends. Last month’s report showed a 6.8% annual gain in home prices nationwide.
